Leaders of the newly-formed Missouri Gateway Chapter of the 101st Airborne Division Association are “barnstorming” Missouri cities and towns, spreading the word in search of Screaming Eagle veterans. The purpose? To develop an ongoing, statewide “deployment” to honor and serve all military veterans from border-to-border.
Veterans and active duty soldiers who have served in any war or any way with the 101st Airborne, are welcome to join. Their family members and friends of the division are also welcome to join as associate members.
